If the cutter is turned on but not cutting correctly, check that the cutter rail is clean and clear of any
obstacles.

If the cutter is turned off, the

key

only advances the paper. Use this key to move

the print far enough out of the front of the printer, until it is convenient to manually cut with a straight
edge or scissors.

The roll is loose on the spindle

The roll may need to be replaced or reloaded. If your roll has a three-inch cardboard core, ensure the
core adaptors supplied with the printer have been installed, see

Load a roll onto the 24-inch spindle

on page 26

.

A strip stays on the output tray and generates jams

If a small piece of paper (200 mm or smaller) has been cut, such as before (if new roll) and after a full-

bleed print or after the

has been pressed, the cut strip remains in the output

tray. Only when the printer is not working, reach in the tray and remove the strip.

Recalibrate the paper advance

Accurate paper advance is important to image quality because it is part of controlling the proper
placement of dots on the paper. If the paper is not advanced the proper distance between printhead
passes, light or dark bands appear in the print and image grain may increase.

The printer is calibrated to advance correctly with all the papers appearing in the front panel. When you
select the type of loaded paper, the printer adjusts the rate at which to advance the paper while printing.
However, if you are not satisfied with the default calibration of your paper, you may need to recalibrate
the rate at which the paper advances. See

Troubleshooting print-quality issues on page 123

for steps

to determine if paper advance calibration will solve your issue.

You can check the paper advance calibration status of the currently loaded paper at any time by pressing

the

View loaded paper

key

on the front panel. The status may be one of the following.

DEFAULT: This status appears when loading any paper that has not been calibrated. HP papers
in the Front Panel have been optimized by default and unless you experience image quality
problems in your printed image such as banding or graininess it is not recommended to recalibrate
the paper advance.

OK: This status indicates that the loaded paper has been calibrated before. However you may need
to repeat the calibration if you experience image quality problems such as banding or graininess
in your printed image.
